We only use modern classic Triumph Bonnevilles. With its relaxed riding position and iconic 60’s styling these are perfect bikes for you to experience the Lake District on, and in true British style!

We chose Bonnevilles because they are stylish and very reliable modern bikes that are ideal for touring winding roads and narrow lanes, and what better way is there to tour within the UK than on a true British legend? With over 50 years heritage, the Bonneville is the most iconic motorbike name in the World. They are also comfortable and easy to ride bikes with more than ample performance, there’s no struggling up those Lake District passes, either solo or two-up!

But can they carry luggage?

Yes, and they do it very well. We can also supply you throw-over panniers if needed - perhaps not enough space for a fortnights camping gear but certainly ample for most people over a long weekend. If you intend to stay longer no doubt you will be using somewhere as a base anyway, so carrying vast amounts of luggage isn’t necessary.
